Lean Six Sigma community, without doubt is growing fast since started deployment in Q1 2013. Lean Six Sigma methodology has been tested and utilized in several areas of our VADS processes. The ultimate goal of LSS is to create a burning platform to proactively tackle the quality losses we are suffering from which costing us substantial amount of costs and to gain market advantage from our competitors. Without this platform, we risk continue to fire fight our process situation accepting status quo. This is a great opportunity for VADS to gradually evolve into a new culture of continuous improvement.
